I found this news incredible. Poloniex is a great exchange, but it has many problems to escalate. Support is one of the worst that exists and any problem you take takes weeks or months to resolve. Besides, nobody knows very well who the owners are, there is little transparency on basic issues. And with that confusion about USDT, no one knew the exchange's position and if they actually have liquidity.
